* NiceGirl: Surprisingly, Gen can be very kind and considerate.

** Probably the worst offender is Tina's KickTheDog moment with the new skates. Any figure skater who's wore better-than-recreational new boots knows Casey should have noticed instantly how impossible skating in them would be. They feel like wearing casts and she would have been unable to warm up, let alone compete.

* CassandraTruth: Casey doesn't believe Gen and Teddy when they say that they weren't a part of their mother sabotaging her. It's only until overhearing Gen confront Tina later that Casey finally believes it.

* AndStarring: The opening cast roll ends with "and Creator/MichelleTrachtenberg", although she's actually billed ''above'' the title.

-->'''Tina:''' Alright, alright, I can see that [[{{Understatement}} maybe we've overdone it]]…\\

* AntiInterferenceLockUp: The AlphaBitch traps Casey in the girls' locker room to keep her from making the ice-skating tryouts.

* HollywoodHomely: Casey is repeatedly shown as being a nerd who isn't supposed to be as beautiful as the glamorous ice-skaters. In truth, she's very pretty, and it's more her awkward nature that keeps her from appearing prettier than she actually is. Lampshaded by Gen when she [[BeautifulAllAlong just has Casey shake out her hair]] to make her look appropriate for a party.

* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When Gen confronts her mother, she tells her that [[spoiler:she's quitting ice skating because]] she's sick of being constantly pushed to do skate when she doesn't want to anymore and the fact that it's making her fall behind in her grades at school. Tina tries to placate her, saying that she understands that she's been going overboard a bit, but when Gen brings up her sabotaging of Casey, she's struck speechless.

* WhatTheHellHero: Casey gives Tina a well-earned dose of this when she learns that Tina bought her the new skates immediately before her long program specifically to sabotage her. Tina's own daughter Gen joins in with an aghast "You bought her ''new skates?''" Then Joan lays into her in the parking lot. Tina tries to defend herself with IDidWhatIHadToDo, but it falls flat with Joan's reply:
